Whilst we were setting up the equipment, cat balls were going off on dolly and orbs were
seen shooting across the lounge area. One team member took their jacket off and the spirit
box said, ‘Take your jacket off’. The team started laughing at this and the spirit box said,
‘Happy’. A K2 meter kept going off, although we could find no trace of an electricity source,
and dolly’s eyes started going on and off on request. Then the front door opened by itself.
The investigation started in the lounge. One team member had a SLS Camera and we
could see a stick person high up on the wall next to the TV. As we watched, the stick
person seemed to grow and started to slide down the wall. We opened a sacred circle and
started with a human pendulum. The spirit box kept answering the questions we were
asking, then it mentioned the names of a few people in the circle. Then the spirit box
started asking questions directed at the owner of the property. As this happened, through
the SLS Camera, we could see a small stick person sitting on the host’s shoulder, then the
TV suddenly turned itself on.
The spirit box said, ‘You don’t know me. I sit in the cupboard. I’m hiding.’ We asked lots of
questions about the cellar and the spirit box was able to answering intelligently. Then,
through the SLS Camera, we saw a stick person in the entrance of the cellar (which we
managed to capture with a photo). The stick person was either small or sitting down. We
threw a cat ball towards it and the stick person appeared to jump up, and at the same time,
a much taller second stick person appeared very briefly to the side of the cellar doorway.
Meanwhile, in the circle, Ed came through. The spirit box kept saying Ed was not liked.
Several times it said said, ‘Stand up and fight me.’ Ed said he used to drink in the building
when it was a pub. Then the initials of someone in the circle were given and Ed said that
person reminded him of someone he once knew.
Everyone in the circle became very cold and a black orb suddenly flew over us ( a solid
black orb with no glow generally means that a negative entity has manifested). The person
in the centre of the circle said they wanted to growl. The spirit box said, ‘Growl’, and we all
heard what sounded like a growl/sneeze. The spirit box became very hostile and demonic.
It said it wanted to hurt us all. The person in the centre of the circle said they felt extremely
aggressive and their face became very contorted with anger. They said they could hear
humming in their head and we linked this to a series of questions we were asking, like the
spirit was deliberately humming so they didn’t have to answer us. We eventually found out
this spirit was called John and resides in one of the bedrooms upstairs. An orb shot across
one team member’s back followed closely by a stick person sitting on their shoulder.
We heard footsteps walking on the stairs, and upon investigating, we saw a stick person
peeping around the corner at the top of the stairs, and the teddy sitting halfway up the
stairs had it’s eyes flashing on and off. Then we heard a noise in the second lounge area
and discovered a planchette had been moved on top of the Ouija board.
We opened that Ouija board and someone called Troy came through. He died in 1845 aged
- (We had spoken to someone called Troy earlier in the circle). Troy told us he was killed
in the pub and his body had been buried in the cellar. The cellar was now boarded up and
this angered Troy because no-one knew he was down there. The landlord buried Troy in
the cellar because one of his sons had killed him. The landlord had two sons called
Norman and Bert Forester. Troy said his surname was Adams and at the same time, one
member on the board had that surname flash into their head. The landlord was called
James Forester. He was born in 1767 and died in 1856. The Foresters ran the pub from
1834 – 1857. After James’ death, his sons took over running the pub for a short while.
We were told there were four spirits with us. We asked what the pub was called and they
spelt out ‘willow tree’. Sailors went into the pub with ladies of the night. They would go
upstairs and James Forester made a profit from them. We asked the spirits to spell out one
of the ladies names and it spelt, ‘tasty’, but would not tell us any names.
Then a spirit called Birtha came through. She was the wife of James and had died on 12th
September 1807 aged 24. She died during childbirth giving birth to twins – Norman and
Bert. James had raised the boys by himself and they were like the mafia of Gosport. Birtha
did not like the way her sons had turned out. A second person came through called Steve
Seacrest. He had died in 1854 aged 23, killed by the Forester boys and also buried in the
cellar.
We had a green laser grid lighting up one wall behind the Ouija board. In one corner, green
orbs started shooting across the wall (we managed to film some of this on video). Birtha
said the orbs were her and it was Troy who had moved the planchette onto the Ouija board
earlier. A dog came through called Prince. He was a guard dog owned by the Forester
family. We were told that dog fights were regularly held in the cellar. We could all smell
cigar smoke and were told the Forester boys had smoked cigars. Birtha told us the pub
became a grocery shop in 1956. Then we saw a stick person on the wall next to the Ouija
board. It started to wave at us on request and Birtha told us it was her (we managed to film
this on video).
Next, a passing spirit called Kevin came on the board. He had lived in Gosport and died in - He used to go into the shop. It was called ‘Waddles’, owned by Betty and Les
Waddles. Betty was still alive, aged 96, and Les died in 1989 aged 78. Betty and Les took
over the shop in 1976. We were told the shop was turned into a house in 2012. Kevin said
the owner of the house had lived there for five months (this is correct). He said he usually
visits the owner in the front bedroom and that there were other spirits in the property who
just watched.
We asked the spirits to set off some of the cat balls and they went off. Then another
passing spirit called Nigel came through. As we were speaking to him, we could see a stick
man on the wall above the Ouija board. The name of one of the team member’s family
came through and the spirit was able to answer lots of questions about the family. A stick
man appeared behind that team member as they were talking. During the break, the cat
ball under the TV kept going off and also the teddy sitting on the sofa.
After the break, we headed upstairs to the bedroom with a build in cupboard. We opened
up another Ouija board and Dave Gray came through. He used to visit the pub and died in
1858 aged 34. He said he liked the host and would often see them in the kitchen and in the
garden. He said he liked this room we were in and was able to spell out the name and age
of the person who’s room it was. He told us there is a boy who lives in the cupboard. Then
Birtha came back on the board and said the boy was called Freddie. He lived in the
building in 1927 when the cupboard was a stairway. One team member sat in the cupboard
and the board spelt out that they didn’t like them sitting in there. We were told Freddie’s
surname was Meisn. He had three sister and two brothers. We asked what the building was
when they lived there and he spelt ‘BK’.
Next, we moved into the front bedroom and opened an Ouija board. Hilary came through
and said they had come into the room via a mirror leaning on the wall. Hilary told us it was
a portal. She said she sees the host’s dog. She didn’t know it’s name but got it’s colour and
age right. Hilary would not tell us her surname but did tell us she had died aged 56 in 1937.
As we were talking, we noticed a silver coin had appeared on the floor near to the board.
No-one had noticed the coin before, despite having walked in and out of the room several
times. Whilst we were talking on the board, half the group suddenly felt very tired and
drained and had to sit down. We tried speaking to other spirts on the board but no-one
would answer us sensibly so we closed the board down. We tried some table tipping and
the table started dancing around the room. At this time we all smelt a floral scent. We did
some table tipping a second time and the table danced around the room again but this
time we smelt faeces. One the third time of table tipping, the table danced around the
room, out through the door and down the corridor. We went downstairs to the lounge
where other members had been doing their own investigations to find half of them had
suddenly come over very tired (at the same time we had upstairs), and had fallen asleep,
laying all over the room.
We had another break then tried some table tipping in the lounge. We were trying to get
the table to go through the doorway to the second lounge area but it refused to go through.
Then a dark shadow of a man’s face appeared from above the doorway (which we
managed to capture on video and took a still screen shot of it). The man looked like he had
a long face with a goatie beard and he appeared to be shouting at the table like we were
(although he may have been shouting at us to stop?). Interesting to note that earlier, other
team members had been doing some scrying upstairs and one team member morphed
into a man who looked exactly like the shadow man. We had set up the green grid lights in
the lounge, and as we ended the table tipping, we noticed lots of green orbs flying about
on the wall.
As we were clearing up, we could could smell a really strong burning smell in the lounge,
like burning newspaper. Next to the boarded up fireplace, one team member saw a large ghost - ghost mist hovering half way up the wall then it disappeared.
